Desert Heat was the eighth arc in BZPB preceded by The Time Slip and followed by Revelations. This arc was started because The Architect decided that is was time for all of the Users to create new characters and start fresh on Bara Magna. Though, most of the originals showed up again and interacted with the newbs. Blackout was in cahoots with Le Chiffre, Kakamu appeared to Tratus, Xeno had Ka-Oni-Santsu and help from Shika to bring back Ynot from being locked in Chronospace after the Battle of Destral. Guest appearances included Tryxas, Zaski and Malygos among others. This arc concluded with the destruction of Bara Magna.
